By Own Correspondent- A city man got the shock of his life when he discovered that his wife, was still legally married to another man.

The man discovered a marriage certificate from his wife’s previous marriage stashed in a suitcase. The matter to light at the Harare Civil Court after Bruka Razevera was hauled to court for physically and verbally assaulting his wife Challenge Muzama, who was applying for a protection order against him.

”He assaults me for my existing marriage certificate. He insults me saying I am a prost_itute and that we are in an adulterous relationship and I have no rights to his assets. I am willing to cancel the marriage certificate but I do not have the legal fees needed,” she said.

In response Razevera denied the allegations stating that he had not assaulted her but had simply instructed her to vacate his premises until she had divorced her husband, so that he could marry her.

Razevera sensationally claimed that the relationship between him and his wife Muzama was adulterous since she had not nullified her previous marriage.

”She is lying that she doesn’t have the money to cancel her marriage certificate so I am afraid of being sued by her husband. I never assaulted her,” he said.

The H-Metro reported that Muzama was no longer in contact with her ex-husband who is now married to another woman. Presiding magistrate Noah Gwatidzo granted the protection order in Muzama’s favour.
